Editorial Reviews

Something bizarre has happened abourd flight #29...a nightmare so chilling, so frightening, so unrelenting it could only come from the mind of Stephen King. Now the master storyteller of our time gives terror a new name in THE LANGOLIERS. A jet leaves on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston. But early in the flight, ten passengers awaken to a startling realization: All of the other passengers have vanished - and the ground below is only...ground. But once they manage to land the plane, the situation doesn't improve. No one is there...the air is still...the clocks have stopped...and a dread, evil presence bent on their destruction is headed straight for them. Based on the novella from the best-selling anthology Four Past Midnight, Patricia Wettig (City Slickers II), Bronson Pincho (Beverly Hills Cop), Dean Stockwell (The Player), and David Morse (The Getaway) stare into the jaws of oblivion in this nightmare from the mind of Stephen King.

Loved It

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018

I loved this TV mini-series when it first aired in 1995. I recently re-watched it on DVD and still loved it. It was way cheesier than I remember it being almost 25 years ago, but I still highly recommend it. Patricia Wettig and David Morse were especially good, while at the opposite end, Bronson Pinchot was way over the top for my taste. Watch it for a great blast from the past!

A Flight to Remember!

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

Flight 29 from LA to Boston is cruising above Colorado when most of the passengers and all of the crew suddenly disappear! The only folks remaining are 10 people who happen to be sleeping at the moment the aeroplane passed through a time-warp. Fortunately, one of these is a qualified pilot who's "dead-handing" to Boston for his estranged wife's funeral. Naturally, he takes charge of the remainder of the flight.

No contact can be established with any ATC tower and the radar shows no other aircraft in the vicinity. So the pilot tries the military frequencies but still finds nothing! Given that there are no lights on the ground, he diverts from Boston-Logan to a less busy airport in rural Maine. Bangor seems totally deserted and there's something strange about the atmosphere; it's lifeless, there's no echo, beer tastes flat and matches won't light! Each character is developed well; one of the passengers happens to be a mystery writer (like Stephen King, who wrote the novel on which the film is based). He essentially narrates the plot making it quite easy to follow. Another is a 12-year-old blind girl with supernatural powers of perception. There's an impatient, mentally unstable banker with an important business meeting in Boston and a British secret agent who tries to take charge in this seemingly impossible situation. How can they return to the time-warp with hardly any fuel on board? Will doing so return them to the correct dimension anyway? And how can they fly the aeroplane back through the time-warp while all 10 of them are asleep?

I haven't read the novel but it's a gripping storyline. Running to 3 hours, always split into two 90-minute viewings. The background music is well suited to the content and some of the camera shots are impressive for 1995.

Creepy...

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2007

The story isn't all that original, really - a plane full of passengers trapped between time and space and seemingly no way back. It was done on the Twilight Zone for certain, and in fact this story had all the mysterious anxiety of a Twilight Zone story, or even something that might have appeared on "Doctor Who". It holds you from start to finish, as most King stories do.

I do have a few minor complaints, though. Like the old classic "Curse of the Demon", this film would have been much more effective if we never actually saw the langoliers (who reminded me of the animated scrub brushes in cleansing powder commercials), but left us to wonder whether or not they were part of Toomey's imagination. I have never read the book, but it seemed to me that Toomey should have been a more sympathetic character, and why-oh-why did the Irishmen-pretending-to-be-an-Englishman come across sounding like an Australian? I was also bothered by the fact that these people were returned to the Present, but no inquiries were made as to the whereabouts of all those missing passengers, not to mention the dead girl in the plane. After all, they were an unscheduled flight that came in from nowhere, and hardly anyoine seemed to notice.

But that's the nature of fantasy, horror, and fairy tales. Maybe they don't have to make sense.

A Classic

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017

I've seen this movie so many times and while it's not an action movie it still holds my interest after so many years. Good acting. Good Story-Line and a Tapestry of strange events that need to be solve before they can find their way home. A movie of Team Work. Just a good movie if you can pay attention. Classic King.

Langoliers?

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2001

Verified Purchase

This film presents an interesting perspective on the unlikely possibility of passing though a "time rip" and what that might be like. Unfortunately, it is basically a Stephen King short story that that has been put on a medieval rack and cruelly stretched into a full length movie. Nine passengers and a pilot wake up from naps to find themselves alone on a jet. They land at (where else?) Bangor, Maine, and find the airport is deserted. As they attempt to figure out what has happened, it becomes clear that they are in grave danger and must depart the airport or be killed by whatever has taken everybody else. As time goes on, the danger increases, time becomes shorter, anxiety rises, and real tension is building. At least for the audience. The characters in the story are too busy talking to take the danger seriously. I found myself wanting to yell at the TV screen "Quit standing around talking to each other and get out of there, you idiots!" It's not their fault, of course. In the absence of any interesting imagery (until the last 5 minutes of the movie), the story line can only be stretched out to movie length with lots and lots and lots of dialogue. Even in the climactic scene, when a horrible death is imminent for all of them if they don't hurry, they stand around talking, and watching the destruction as it approaches, which is something only a person with one lone kernel of candy corn for a brain would do. I found that aspect of the movie downright aggravating.

...My first thought when I saw the "trailer" was 'who is Stephen King?'
Well, after watching this, I started reading anything I could get my hands on
(The Stand, Dark Tower, to name a few). I watched it on hulu, Netflix
many times. Now I have the DVD.
His interpretation of "today becoming yesterday" is unique
Dean Stockwell was excellent as a mystery author.

The Langoliers Video tape

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2009

Verified Purchase

This film is excellent. I have watched this three times in one night.
Ten people fly through a timerip and discover that everyone that was awake disapeared.
My favourite part is when the get to the strange world where the Langoliers come and get them. The air is strange, there is no echo, no power unless you are on the plane, when they walk on the ground their feet sound different to normal, the weather goes dark then light again after 40 mins and the food and drinks are flat.
My favourite character is poor poor Mr Toomey. He is a wreck because his father brainwashed him telling him if he doesn't buck up his ideas and stop wasting time, the Langoliers will get him and eat him alive.
The part before they leave you see the Langliers and the chase Mr Toomey, you see the Langliers teeth move all around in a circle and they sort of make a creepy noise and clash their teeth together. The eat up the airport and eat away the strange land and every one except Mr Toomey and Mr Gaffney (Mr Toomey stabs him thinking he is a Langolier) get away.
They look on in horror as the world disapears in to the blackness below.

I also own the video tape.

I give the film 5 Stars!

Genialer Mix aus Sci-Fi und Horror!

Reviewed in Germany on July 13, 2002

Ich bin sonst nicht unbedingt ein Stephen King - Fan, aber sein Film "Langoliers" ist einfach nur genial und jedem zu empfehlen, der guten Science-Fiction mit einem originellen Plot mag.
Die Story über die Passagiere des Nachtfluges von Los Angeles, die sich nach dem Erwachen plötzlich in einem führerlosen Flugzeig wiederfinden und notfallmäßig auf dem unerklärlich völlig verlassenen Flughafen von Bangor landen, ist unwahrscheinlich dicht. Das Zusammenspiel der völlig unterschiedlichen Personen in der beklemmenden Atmospäre des Flughafens, wo das Grauen schon am Horizont lauert, ist spannend und schauspielerisch gut in Szene gesetzt. Besonders Toomy jagte mir einen Schauer nach dem anderen über den Rücken. Es ist echt schon eine Leistung, den Spannungsbogen bis zum Finale (nach immerhin 180 Min.!) aufrecht erhalten zu können! Ein guter und spannender Film, den ich einfach nur weiterempfehlen kann!
